Make It Cherry

In this kitchen, the tone is set by granite counters and sleek stainless steel appliances. The custom-designed cabinets--stained dark cherry to match the red hues in the granite--include pullout corner and pantry systems. The island has a chopping-block table that can be wheeled out and used as a cart.

This Kitchen Soars

In this kitchen, a high-pitched ceiling, transom windows, and light wood furnishings highlight the best attraction of all--nature. To top it all off, the design team used unique lighting to add warmth, including inset ceiling lights, low-hanging halogen lamps, and coves above the cabinets.

Practical Fashion

The kitchen's 12-inch-deep, stainless, commercial-grade sink easily handles unwieldy pots. The satin nickel faucet with side spray offers graceful style and restaurant efficiency.

A Kitchen That Cooks

The light-filled kitchen combines modern, energy-efficient appliances with accents of a traditional farm kitchen, such as exposed shelves and rustic pine ceiling beams. The wheat-colored subway-tiled backsplash contributes to the classic feel of the kitchen even as it contrasts with the contemporary stainless steel appliances and the South African granite countertops.

Colorful Backsplash

Colourful Kitchen makeover from Sunset

This kitchen's backsplash was turned into an accent wall by adding colorful red and orange glass tiles arranged in a geometrical pattern. A shallow shelf faced with an ebony brown plywood panel now functions as a display alcove. Simple milk bottle–shaped pendant lights suspended over the breakfast table add a final sculptural nuance.

Countertop Buying Guide: Granite

Granite is celebrated worldwide for its striking beauty and its remarkable durability. This natural stone consists mostly of quartz, which is famously hard, plus minerals and feldspar that create granite's unique veins, flecks, depth and natural luster.

Granite resists stains and scratches. It stands up to warm pans, water and wear. And it's available in a variety of colors, patterns and finishes, with each slab unique in all the world. Granite is perfect for countertops, accent islands, bar tops and more.

This Outdoor Kitchen

Arranged in a cooking line, the outdoor kitchen features a gas grill and masonry oven. The countertops are made of the same granite used in the indoor kitchen, which helps to link both kitchens and creates a more seamless cooking experience.

Budget

Have a certain sum in mind by deciding what's most important: Do you want the bulk of your money to go into the setting—patio, pavilion, deck—or into equipment? If you're planning to stay in your house for a long time, put your money into the setting and start with modest equipment that can be upgraded over time. If you think you may move, buy the equipment of your dreams in portable form so you can take it with you. Build it in or buy versions on wheels. These days you can even get a portable pizza oven.

One review on Hope Depot's website reads the following:


"This is a beautiful faucet for your new or existing kitchen. The stainless adds to the sleekness of the faucet and with having to only have one hole gives you options for later if you should decide to change your look. This item looks great with the new stainless steel appliances. The function is great and easy to use, you get the pull down and out faucet that maximizes work space and stays put when not in use. It has one hand control for the water which makes it easy for busy cooks. Over all this is a great product at a good price and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new faucet."
